About this title

Synopsis:

Sher Music's first fake book was designed to include all the best original jazz compositions not included in the old, illegal Real Book. Composers include Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Russ Ferrante, John Scofield, and many more. Like all Sher Music fake books, it features composer-approved transcriptions, easy-to-read calligraphy, and many extras (sample bass lines, chord voicings, drum appendix, etc.) not found in conventional fake books.

Review:

Very true to the original music. Great for any students of jazz. CHICK COREA --Personal Correspondence

This is the most carefully conceived fake book I've ever seen. GEORGE CABLES --Personal Correspondence

An impressive work throughout, setting high standards. JAZZ EDUCATORS JOURNAL --Personal Correspondence
